<p>Because it amuses me:</p><p>&hellip; perpetuating the image of Italians as fighting machines is reckless and wrong. Italians already face a public relations battle and are the most abused breed of immigrant. PETI's fieldworkers see Italians in horrific conditions every day. They are frequently kept chained or penned, they are taunted and trained to be aggressive, and they are beaten and starved&mdash;sometimes to death.</p><p>Really one of the thing that bugs me the most about PETA is the fact that they have no perspective whatsoever. &nbsp;If a person goes on a bloody rampage and murders a thousand people, and wounds one dog, PETA will harp on their immoral actions of harming the dog. &nbsp;Really there is a time and a place for things.</p><p>And honestly, Mafias are not good or nice people. &nbsp;Tormenting dogs would be the very least of their sins.</p><p>-Ultimately what will do in mankind is a person's fear of their own freedom-</p>Mon, 26 Apr 2010 17:25:31 +0000Erikcomment 252464 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252412

<p>Hehe, same. Happily, unlike PETA, we can distinguish reality from fantasy enough to enjoy the humor behind it, even if it is black humor.</p>Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:57:08 +0000hellfire7885comment 252411 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252410
<p>It might take a long time but breeding that agression out seems like an ideal solution rather than extinction.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Funny though, while the cases you both mention are rather horrible, outside of dog fighting rings or actualy abuse cases, the two cases you spoke of seem ot be very rare.</p><p>What one also needs to take into account is animals are not all cut from the same cloth personality wise. Maybe the dogs that attacked unprovoked were of a mean disposition personality wise anyway. Or perhaps the owners weren'ty nearly as nice as you think. People behave very differently when they aren't being watched.</p>Mon, 26 Apr 2010 13:54:04 +0000hellfire7885comment 252410 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252407
<p>Actually, I&nbsp;agree, my old Border Collie was attacked by a Pit-Bull that started out as friendly as anything as a puppy, but when it matured, it became more and more aggressive, despite the fact the owner was a perfectly nice person. He ended up getting the dog put down because it was just too vicious and he had kids, and was terrified that one day it would attack one of them.</p><p>Frankly, PETA can suck my balls over this, those dogs are dangerous, are <em>bred</em> to be dangerous, and, when only a few weeks ago an 18-month old child was killed by one, I think they are more than a little conceited to be defending them in <em>any</em> way, shape or form. Fact is, if it wasn't for humans spending years breeding that kind of savagery into the breed, it wouldn't exist in the first place, so what is less ethical, using them in a game, or breeding a dog that is specifically designed for mindless violence? Maybe PETA should consider that?</p>Mon, 26 Apr 2010 10:26:50 +0000GoodRobotUscomment 252407 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252399
<p>Once again PETA opens it mouth and spews out bile it knows nothing about. This goes with the other issue they bitched about when you could call attack dogs in the CoD:WaW and shoot them but ignoring the fact that theres heavily more human on human violence in the game, when you see your enemies limbs get shredded off from a grenade explosion and theres head exploding from god knows what.</p>Sun, 25 Apr 2010 12:59:21 +0000Mendrorcomment 252399 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252395
<p>Ah, yes, Postal 2. I had to go to Youtube and see the cat gun again.

<p>Their point is that perpetuating pit bulls' aggressive image will lead to more pit bulls being abused in an attempt to make them fit that image.&nbsp; Or something.&nbsp; PETA are a bunch of nutbags, I wouldn't try to think about it too hard...</p>Sat, 24 Apr 2010 21:41:18 +0000MechaTama31comment 252394 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252387
<p>Pit Bulls are vile creatures. Thankfully they're illegal in the UK.</p><p>Pit Bulls are really the result of decades of breeding to make an aggressive animal. It is simply in their nature to be aggressive and violent, whether trained or not.</p><p>I&nbsp;notice that PETA fail to make any mention of the people killed by pit bulls (many of which were never trained or abused to be aggressive). Apparently animals are always victims and innocent beings. Living with a pit bull is arguably like living with a loaded gun.</p><p>(I&nbsp;await the barrage of complaints).</p>Sat, 24 Apr 2010 16:12:59 +0000Statecomment 252387 at http://www.gamepolitics.comRe: PETA Barks About Inclusion of Pit Bulls in Mafia Warshttp://www.gamepolitics.com/2010/04/23/peta-barks-about-inclusion-pit-bulls-mafia-wars#comment-252377
